moving trains not working

[Aspen]

ive got a set of prop_dynamics as my train.
ive got a func_tracktrain that the train is parented to, with 2 tracks, and a timer to trigger it every 10-15 seconds to come tearing through the station at batshit insane speeds.

You dont have a first stop target, Use path_track to lay the tracks...

Heres the Dev page on it

i have 2 path_tracks already
the 2nd teleports to the first and then stops the train at the 1st after it passes target #2
you can see the tracks in the grid screenshot..

In func_tanktrain you havent told hammer what the first stop target is (AKA where the train spawns)

herp..
seeing if that fixes it.
yeah. it fixes it.
but now the train goes sideways when it's straight, and it's invisible when its sideways.

For straight running trains, func_train is better, and doesn't have as many quirks as func_tracktrain. The only thing is that it and path_corner (which is used by func_train instead of path_track) aren't in the FGD by default. The VDC has a snippet of FGD core for both entities if you want to use them instead.
